Study Notes

Image Compression Model

  • The source encoder removes redundancy (coding, inter-pixel, psycho-visual), while the channel encoder ensures robustness against channel noise.

Compression Types

  • There are two types of compression: error-free (lossless) compression and lossy compression.

Error-Free (Lossless) Compression

  • Required in applications where no error is allowed (medical, business documents, etc.).
  • Compression ratios (CR) of 2 to 10 can be achieved.
  • Techniques used: Huffman codes, Arithmetic coding, 1D and 2D run-length encoding, Loss-less Predictive Coding, and Bit-Plane Coding.

Huffman Coding

  • A popular technique for removing coding redundancy.
  • Yields the smallest number of code symbols per source symbol.
  • The resulting code is optimal.

Example of Huffman Codes

  • Average code length (Lavg) is calculated using probability and code lengths.

Image Compression Importance

  • Everyday, a vast amount of information is stored, processed, and transmitted.
  • Image compression reduces data requirements to represent a digital image.
  • It plays a crucial role in Video Conferencing, remote sensing, satellite TV, FAX, documentation, image database, and medical imaging.

Lossy Compression

  • Lossy compression gives a more compact representation of an image at the cost of some data loss.
  • Although the original image cannot be fully reconstructed, the degradation may not affect the purpose of using the image.
  • Transform coding techniques are useful lossy techniques: Discrete Fourier, Wavelet, Discrete Cosine Transforms.
